Airspan Selected for County-Wide Municipal and WiMAX Networks in Spain

Airspan Networks Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRN), a leading provider of
broadband wireless access networks, announced today that the
government of La Xunta, Spain, through its service provider R, has
selected Airspan equipment to create two networks, one used for the
municipality to remotely connect offices throughout the region,
while the second is connecting several industrial zones and
businesses to WiMAX.
The Galicia region in northern Spain faces especially
challenging connectivity issues due to a rough terrain and
landscape. Laying traditional wire cabling across the county is not
feasible, which has left much of the region's constituency, a
portion of which is located in remote villages and rural areas,
with a digital gap.
Providing the backhaul solution to connect over 200 remote
branch offices to the government IT network, Airspan, working with
partner Colabora Ingeneiros, has enabled the municipality to extend
government services such as social, economical and healthcare
support to its citizens.
In addition, the government has extended a WiMAX network through
32 industrial centers, enabling SOHOs (small office/home office)
and SMEs (Small/Medium Enterprise) to access high-speed broadband
Internet connections up to 6 Mbps and Internet telephony (VoIP).
Airspan's equipment is designed to deliver reliable, secure and
robust broadband connectivity.
The WiMAX network includes 32 Airspan WiMAX base stations with a
large quantity of ProST outdoor units installed at the customer
premises. The inherent technology of the ProST subscriber terminals
ensures improved connectivity rates over long distances, supplying
reliable data transmission in both line-of-site (LOS) and
non-line-of-site (NLSO) environments.
The municipal solution comprises 400 Airspan FlexNET base
stations dispersed throughout the county, providing long-range
capabilities and extending the network reach. These units allow for
high-capacity connectivity over an extremely secure environment
which is essential to protect the privacy of the public. In
addition to network and Internet connectivity, the solution also
provides for IP telephony and Wi-Fi hotspot locations.
"La Xunta has incorporated Airspan's innovative technology to
its networks, helping them become more efficient, improve commerce,
better serve the public and begin to standardize services across
the county," stated Declan Byrne, Airspan Chief Marketing Officer.
"These applications are a perfect example of the many benefits
afforded by wireless broadband in reaching rural and remote
regions. Governments across the world are attempting to bridge the
digital divide and Airspan has the affordable and high-quality
products to help them accomplish their goals."
